I would recommend as Wido to use the dd command. block db device holds
the metada/allocation of objects stored in data block, not cleaning this
is asking for problems, besides it does not take any time. In our
testing building new custer on top of older installation, we did see
many cases where osds will not start and report an error such as fsid of
cluster and/or OSD does not match metada in BlueFS superblock...these
errors do not appear if we use the dd command.
